She was speaking. "Now Billy? You have really lovely hands. Nice and plump and soft, but you're not showing them off to best advantage. Girls the same age as you are already way ahead of you in nail care. Now that you're knitting - and especially one I teach you to sew, you'll be dealing with much nicer and finer fabrics - I mean you wouldn't want to be snagging your nails on your nylons would you?"
Sewing? Nylons? What was she talking about? But I couldn't think. Was completely lost, bedazzled by her proximity, the feel of her dress under my hand, the scent of her - the femininity that was enveloping me.
